That's the American style, and it's stupid.
It's English, my fair cross-dressing sweaty nerd. Go read a book for once in your lifetime. Harry Potter at the very least. “The best,” replied Severus Snape. -- Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, p.1

I don't care to associate with people who are offended by being corrected. They can sod off. And I never go to what you Americans call "parties".
This type of pedantry doesn’t add to the discussion. You’re correcting someone’s spelling on the internet, it’s pointless except to make you feel superior, adds nothing. Make a salient point, bring something to the discussion please. Sorry I hurt your feelings bud.

Yes it does. The original commenter can learn how to spell better which makes clear communication easier, and don't forget that other people read internet discussions and they may be learning new words or realizing they also didn't know how to spell a word correctly. You seem offended at the prospect of people learning how to do something correctly, I don't get it.

> And I never go to what you Americans call "parties". Whenever you use quotes and they are directly followed by punctuation you must include the punctuation within the quotes. "parties."

That is a level of pedantry that I find pointless. Using the wrong word can lead to miscommunication. Omitting a comma can completely change the meaning of a sentence. Moving punctuation inside or outside of quotes? Makes no real difference.

You put the punctuation where it makes sense. If it belongs to the quote, it goes inside. If it belongs to the sentence, it goes outside.
